Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State has recommended Chief Olabode George for suspension over his alleged anti-party activities spanning two decades.
Chief Bode George, a Board of Trustees (BOT) member of the National Working Committee of the party, was overwhelmingly voted for suspension for deliberately causing disaffection within the party that cost its strives to grab power in Lagos State.
At a meeting of Alimosho PDP, led by the acting chairman, Mrs Adeyemi, where recent happenings in the party were reviewed, the party upheld that “there is no crisis in Alimosho PDP and that Otunba Segun Adewale (Aeroland) has no problem with anyone except those conniving with those who worked against the party in the last election
“That Chief Olabode George’s attempt to instigate crisis in the party by using associates of Segun Adewale to attack him is highly condemnable,” adding that “Chief Olabode George has done severe damage to the reputation and efforts of the party and well-meaning members of the party through his anti-party activities spanning over two decades,” said the party.
The party however noted that the purported suspension of Segun Adewale on the instruction of Bode George by a few excos in Alimosho was illegal, adding that “the suspension of a member of the party can only be done at the ward level; the suspended exco members have no powers to suspend any member of the party because they are technically not members of the party while they are on suspension.”
PDP members expressed lost of confidence in the leadership of Chief Olabode George and passed a vote of no confidence on him, and that the assembly moved that the party should suspend Chief Olabode George for his anti-party activities having caused irreparable damage to the fortunes of the party in the past
The meeting was attended by ward chairmen, LG excos and stalwarts of the party across the state.
